Details: He noted that the mission involves the involvement of a number of assets, including frigates and patrol aircraft.
The allies also agreed to launch an initiative to use the latest technologies for patrolling. “This will include a small fleet of maritime drones that will provide more effective monitoring and deterrence,” the NATO Secretary General said.
“We are also working with allies to integrate their national surveillance mechanisms with NATO, which will ensure comprehensive threat detection,” Rütte added.
It will be recalled that the leaders met in Helsinki to discuss a series of incidents with damage to the underwater infrastructure in the Baltic and the threats posed by the “shadow fleet” of tankers carrying Russian oil.
Finland and Sweden have already announced that they will provide their ships for the joint activities of the allies, and the German Chancellor has also expressed such readiness.
